Challenging behaviours present major impediments to a young child's life. Being able to properly assess these behaviours can lead to early intervention and remediation.
In the present study, the problem behaviours of 644 children 17-37 months of age who were at risk for developmental disabilities were studied using the BISCUIT-Part 3. In study one, norms and cut-off scores were established for this new scale using this sample. In study 2, the frequency and patterns of various challenging behaviours were evaluated.
The majority of developmentally delayed children who had severe challenging behaviours engaged in aggressive/destructive acts. However, severe problem behaviours were in the minority of occurrence.
Outcomes suggest that these behaviours can be identified at an early age using a validated instrument tool. Implications are that pinpointing emerging problematic behaviours allows for a more accurate assessment of the delayed child's overall functioning. Being able to pinpoint behaviour problems allows for earlier and more effective treatment.
具有挑战性的行为对幼儿的生活构成了重大障碍。能够正确评估这些行为有助于早期干预和矫正。
在本研究中，使用《婴幼儿问题行为量表第三部分》（BISCUIT - Part 3）对644名17至37个月大、有发育障碍风险的儿童的问题行为进行了研究。在研究一中，利用该样本为这个新量表建立了常模和临界分数。在研究二中，评估了各种具有挑战性的行为的频率和模式。
大多数有严重挑战性行为的发育迟缓儿童表现出攻击/破坏行为。然而，严重问题行为的发生率较低。
结果表明，使用经过验证的工具可以在早期识别这些行为。这意味着准确找出新出现的问题行为有助于更准确地评估发育迟缓儿童的整体功能。能够准确找出行为问题有助于更早、更有效地进行治疗。
